Well I got tired of the lame shifting by the AW4 controller (TCU) so I relieved it of duty...

Now I shift when I want! Have full control of forward gears with torque converter lockup...

I just finished making my trunk rack/basket. I really slacked in storage area in my xj, because of my sub box. so i decided to make a rack. i got my idea from the wilderness rack online. cost me 40 bucks to make, compared to the 200 it costs

build a false floor over the gas tank. easy enough with 1x1 and some sheet metal or aluminum.

thats what ill be doing when i raise my gas tank.

my tank is up through the floor, i just used 1" round hrew and built a rack above the tank. cost about 50 bucks and a couple hours labor.

it was specifically built for 1 8gal rubbermaid tote and a small cooler i had, or it will fit 2 8gal totes. but it could have been built much bigger i just didn't need it to fit more than that.
